In Search of the Wild

WILDLIFE - PRAIRIE, MARSH, AND WOODLAND

Eagles, hawks, herons, prairie chickens on the booming grounds, bison, deer in fog. Most of these took hours of sitting still, at a distance the animal chose. A few took years of coming back. I is an ongoing pursuit rather than a finished collection - the next trip is for wildlife too.

BACKROADS, CHAPELS, AND OPEN COUNTRY

Chalk bluffs, prairie chapels, waterfalls, and the long light at either end of the day. The plains do not hand anything over quickly.

The Night Sky

MILKY WAY OVER THE PLAINS
